Chapter 93
Investment jackpot
I met people and was influenced by them.
I learned boldness and innovative thinking from Elon Musk.
―Executive Director Ahn Myeong-guk: I like the proposal of the Lee Seong Group. The cost of creating a data center, the construction period, and even the level of parts. It’s more than one step above DK.
-Kim Shin: That’s right.
Isung Group’s overall competitiveness was strong in the IT field.
It decided to build a $2 billion data center in Chuncheon and Canada, where the average temperature is low.
“Eddie, how about this?”
“like. The system efficiency and calculation speed of earth resources will be greatly improved.”
There was one that bought a data center for $300 million, and it’s still acquiring affordable data centers in California.
Nevertheless, they were busy keeping Earth Resource’s service running smoothly.
Thanks to price competitiveness, many customers came to visit us en masse.
Thanks to the growing sales, the Cloud division was in a hectic situation every day.
“If the data center is completed in 1 year and 6 months, there will be no problems in the computing and cloud fields, right?”
“The growth rate in this field is so fast. If growth continues like this, it can be overloaded. At that time, we have to sprinkle source coins through the grid network and try to maintain it somehow.”
Earth Resources was accumulating cash through business activities.
I decided to try it boldly like Elon Musk.
It’s important to hit the stone bridge, but I learned that if necessary, you have to make a boat to cross the river.
“don’t worry. I will make more data centers.”
“really?”
“yes. Let’s do it properly.”
―Kim Shin: Tell Lee Sung and DK that they are placing an order for an additional data center.
―Executive Director Ahn Myeong-guk: How large should it be?
―Kim Shin: I will do it with 6 billion dollars.
That’s about the same amount Google invests in its data centers each year.
It was an excessive amount for the size of Earth Resources, but there was no need to spend money on other areas besides labor costs.
‘We need to learn how Korean companies grow.’
How Lee Sung-electrons dominated the semiconductor market.
It was thanks to bold investments made in promising fields even at the cost of losses.
It’s not like investing with debt, so if you can afford it, you should do it.
“Eddie, will this be enough?”
“sure. Once the data center is completed, the service will be smooth for a while.”
“I’m glad. I will look at the situation next year and invest again.”
“Then we could dominate the cloud market.”
Dominating the cloud market.
Bringing IT supremacy was very exciting.

Han Chae-won wrote without going to work for a while.
[Married life with Kim Shin was hell.]
I decided on a provocative title in advance, and decided to write the story accordingly.
When Kim Shin comes to Korea, she meets the group presidents, and anticipation for vaccines spreads around the world, which is great news for her.
‘I’m going to sell 10 million copies of this book.’
Wouldn’t it be inevitable for his book to sell as well as Kim Shin’s fame?
He thought of the future of holding book concerts in New York and London, becoming a famous celebrity, and filming television commercials.
Han Chae-won tapped her laptop while wearing horn-rimmed glasses.
[Kim Shin was a very sincere person. If I had a task to do, I did it without giving up. Be kind to people… … .]
“Nope. This is not it!”
As I write while thinking of the past, I write honestly as I come to mind.
“This is troublesome.”
[Kim Shin was very poor. Living in a semi-basement, I was afraid to spend money because of my unfortunate family situation, and I thought about drinking a cup of coffee from a vending machine… … .]
“This is not it either. The story of Kim Shin’s misery is fundamentally uninteresting.”
When your book comes out, women are more likely to buy it than men.
Apparently, men are interested in Kim Shin’s investment, and they won’t care about his married life with his divorced wife.
“Ah! Why is it so difficult to write? Skip the first half.”
[During his married life, Kim Shin was exceptionally diligent. I do the cleaning, the laundry, and the dishes all by myself… … .]
“I don’t think this is the case either?”
I thought of my marriage days to write, but I couldn’t see Kim Shin resting properly.
“Why did I hate Kim Shin so much?”
I slowly recalled the past from my newlywed days.
In Gangbuk’s villa, Shin Kim himself did the papering and flooring to save the cost of wallpapering.
She was irritable and embarrassed.
“what. Shame on the town! Others decorate their living rooms with marble, but ours is white paper? Isn’t that the cheapest?”
“It’s neat. Since the house is not large, I thought it would be nice to have a clean wallpaper.”
“I wish I had found a bigger house from the start!”
“Because I don’t have enough money… … . We found a house that fits our budget. You know, Chaewon.”
“I don’t know. I know this is all because of you.”
Kim Shin liked small things.
One day, I was looking at my phone for a long time, so I looked over my shoulder to see if I was in touch with another woman.
But isn’t it contemplating whether or not to buy a 15,000 won multi-tap?
“What are you looking at?”
“This multitap is really good. Even if you don’t hold it with both hands, if you press it lightly, it comes right off. The design is pretty, and it has a cell phone charging function.”
“Are you going to buy it?”
“I want to buy it. There is no problem with the function of the multi-tap for 6,000 won. It’s pretty, so I’m thinking about it.”
“What are you worrying about!”
Even then, she was irritable.
I didn’t feel the need to put up with it when I was upset over trivial things.
“Others like Chanel and Hermes. When you get married, you get two or three designer bags. What is this? My husband is struggling with only a multi-tap. I can’t go to the meeting because I’m embarrassed to introduce you to my friends.”
At those times, Kim Shin hugged her with both arms.
“Sorry.”
“Is it all if you know I’m sorry? Do you know how much sacrifice I made to marry you?”
There was a huge crowd to write a novel based on facts.
For some reason, if a book is published with this kind of content, it seems that she will be cursed by the public.
‘Was writing such a difficult thing? What should I write?’
Every time I got a call from the editor of Random Flower Publishing in New York, I was in a hurry to make an excuse.
“It will be finished soon. I’ve decided what I need to write and I’m writing a draft. Yes Yes. I will try to write it properly with stimuli.”
You got a pretty big down payment, and it seems like you have high expectations from the publisher.
Every time she writes, she herself suffers from hair falling out in clumps.

―Paul: The third clinical trial is progressing smoothly. Although the number of participants was increased, there were no side effects.
News about a vaccine in clinical trials came in.
―Kim Shin: How about Pfizer or Moderna? And what about other vaccines?
―Paul: The two companies will be conducting the third round soon. There are side effects, but they are minor. Other companies have mostly been discontinued in their 1st and 2nd rounds due to side effects or lack of antibody production.
―Kim Shin: When will the results of the third clinical trial come out?
―Paul: With the emergency use requirements in place, I think a decision will come sooner or later.
In the meantime, the wait was very long.
‘If a vaccine is released, many people can be saved. It’s worth it.’
I spent some time going to work at Earth Resources.
New employees, talented employees join the work, and the performance of the business unit improves every week.
On weekends, I played tennis or rode a yacht to exercise and relieve stress.
Lee Jong-yeop, who followed me every day, made a suggestion.
“Let’s go to the party. older brother.”
“Why party? You have nowhere else to go.”
“Do I need an invitation? If it’s big brother, you’re welcome at any party in California.”
“Aren’t you close enough?”
Contact networks were established with high-ranking politicians from various countries, and businessmen could meet as they wished.
It’s not as much as someone you know when you cross a bridge, but it’s possible to meet and do business with anyone because you’re the owner of Earth Resources and Bio Life.
The Iseong Group and DK Group, which I have seen in Korea, are world-class in terms of business size.
“It’s for your pleasure.”
“joy?”
“You do a lot of work, don’t you? Meet the beauties. To have a good life, you have to enjoy some pleasure without responsibility.”
“… … .”
I respected Lee Jong-yeop’s outlook on life, but I didn’t want to follow it.
To be honest, the word pleasure without responsibility really appealed to me.
A party with dozens of beauties on a yacht worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Because this was possible.
I haven’t lived like that since I was young, so I couldn’t enjoy it comfortably.
―Jin Yu-gyeong: When can I go to the US?
―Jin Yu-gyeong: I’ve packed everything. Available this week too!
―Kim Shin: Are you not working at the company?
―Jin Yu-gyeong: I’m free from advertising planning. There are a lot of old people in future cars, so they like only the same dignified advertisements every day.
Jin Yu-gyeong kept calling me, probably because she asked me to meet her in America.
-Kim Shin: Hmm… … I guess I’ll be free until there’s a vaccine.
―Jin Yu-kyung: Is that so? Then start right away this week!
―Kim Shin: Do you have a plane ticket?
―Jin Yu-gyeong: Of course. Do you think you can’t get a plane ticket from the future group secretary’s office?
-Kim Shin: Huh? Don’t you know that the president of Mirae Group will also come to the United States if you get it through the secretary’s office?
It was just a hint.
I thought it would be uncomfortable if the chairman of Mirae Group knew about it.
―Jin Yu-kyung: Did your dad tell you to go?
―Kim Shin: Yes?
―Jin Yu-kyung: I want to actively meet him as a good person. From my dad’s point of view, if you have a lot of money, you’re a good person.
-Kim Shin: Ah. Yes.
10 kg of burden.
―Kim Shin: But there aren’t many places to go sightseeing around here.
―Jin Yu-gyeong: What about tourism? We can talk while drinking beer.
―Kim Shin: You have to make a hotel reservation first. or maybe i can do it
I thought that there might be a misunderstanding that I had a wrong mind by bringing up the hotel story.
I was saying this because I could suffer because of the lodging when I came.
―Jin Yu-gyeong: But why do you spend money?
―Kim Shin: Yes?
―Jin Yoo-gyeong: The house you’re living in is really nice, right? You can cook it.
―Kim Shin: … … .
20 kg of burden.
And that evening I got a call.
―Paul: Emergency use of the K-Vaccine has been authorized in the UK.
―Kim Shin: Already?
Not only the United States, but also European countries were conducting clinical trials with export contracts.
―Paul: It seems that the UK accepted the data after seeing the efficacy and safety of the K-vaccine.
―Paul: It seems that the US will accept it sooner or later.
Suddenly, things started to get busy.
The British Prime Minister gave an interview to the media and announced that British people would be able to get a vaccine produced in Korea from next week.
“It is the world’s first introduction, do you have any concerns about it?”
British Prime Minister Johnson answered the reporter’s question.
“It is a decision based on scientific data. There was no reason to hesitate because it was judged that the introduction of the K-vaccine could reduce more than 50,000 deaths in the UK.”
―Executive Director Ahn Myeong-guk: We want to take 10 million doses as the first introduction in the UK.
-Kim Shin: Yes. Proceed.
Not only in England, but two days later, the United States officially gave permission for emergency use of K-vaccine.
I have made a lot of money with several investments so far.
Now my investment has been able to save people all over the world.
